[removed] Round to a number of decimal places, but strip extra zeros

Question

Here\'s the scenario: I\'m getting .9999999999999999 when I should be getting 1.0.
I can afford to lose a decimal place of precision, so I\'m u

Answer 1

None of these really got me what I was looking for based on the question title, which was, for example, for 5.00 to be 5 and 5.10 to be 5.1. My solution was as follows:

num.toFixed(places).replace(/\.?0+$/, '')

'5.00'.replace(/\.?0+$/, '') // 5
'5.10'.replace(/\.?0+$/, '') // 5.1
'5.0000001'.replace(/\.?0+$/, '') // 5.0000001
'5.0001000'.replace(/\.?0+$/, '') // 5.0001

Note: The regex only works if places > 0
